I'll have to agree with this. Remember last year people saying Gio should be DFA or non-tendered. How many guys who have had a decent run during their younger years, with their 1st crack at Free Agency looming ,actually sign extensions ? No matter how you slice it with the arbitration over a small amount of money or Gio's union rep activities, Reinsdorf doesn't sign pitchers to long term deals so we have people saying he should have resigned by ignoring the JR factor involved. Gio probably wouldn't have resigned unless he was blown away by an offer which wasn't coming anyway. JR doesn't care about potential. He'd rather have his GM sign older guys with proven track records even if on the downside of their careers . He does this at the MLB level and the International draft. He has consistently undermined the franchise ability to build from within .Anyone with any inkling of how JR has operated over the years should have known all this a long time ago. I truly understand the bitterness of how the rebuild excitement has become a joke. But this was always going to be how it ended. I think JR realizes he is the one responsible for this mess but his job has always been to make money for himself and the investors, not run a competent winning organization. He's keeps guys like Hahn around because they do his bidding . He was able to win one championship his way of cobbling together broken pieces who somehow all came together for one mystifying magical season. It wasn't like the 2005 team was filled with HOF players like a lot of Championship teams are. It was all piecemeal . Reinsdorf is the definition or piecemeal management and Hahn has done it about as poorly has he could. But he did it JR's way.

Hilarious !!!

Sure leave him in why not ?

Power hitting 2nd baseman !

Eloy was hosed by the ump. You would think when a catcher sets up off the plate and the pitcher throws it where the catcher sets up they would notice.

There are minor back surgeries (micro-surgery) that are less invasive and require much less recovery time. But it depends on the problem.

The guys who are proven but relievers who are fickle year to year, injured position players or on the downside of careers or both.

Less than that ,it hit the orange line more like 6 inches.

That Burger Bomb was 461 ft @113.5 MPH !!

ANy mod could merge this with the other winners thread. I appreciate all who posted in this one ! Took me too long to post it while I was checking the box score and making the post and the other guy beat me .

WHite Sox winner thread made

Robert Bomb (27th) 4/5 OPS over .900 Burger Bomb (21st) OPS over .800 Benintendi on fire. BA .290 Cease 5 strong innings Lopez , Bummer and Scholtens 4 innngs of 0 runs, 2 hits, 6 K ,0 BB relief Great game ! ATL hadnt lost a home game since June 11 and had won 11 straight series. Sox busted both of those up.

Sox did well. Take the series tomorrow !

On most suicide squeezes the runner on 3rd is practically stealing home and usually gets home like a second after the ball is bunted. The run would've scored and the way the cards were playing defense they might've thrown home and not got the out there nor the out at 1st with the catcher trying to apply a tag. It wasn't a force at home situation.

Good man ! Burger had a good game , 2b, HR, 2 walks 3 ribbies. Got his OPS back over .800.

That was a short lived lead .

Remi too !

More Burgers !

Thank u Vaughn

Can anyone it anything but weak GB's ?

OPPO taco Burger bomb

Since the start of May 4th Robert has the most fWar among position players in MLB, 3.3.

Aking the wrong guy . I'm not going to pour through game logs to figure it out. He'll get pounded soon enough.

Helluva game Lance ! Do you have 1 more inning in you ?

A lot of that came in April maybe ? I can't pinpoint exactly when he started to pull himself out of the depths of that terrible start.
